    • The lake may have raised a few inches from the hurricane and this weekend's monsoon rains. The real source of water is from the Rocky Mountain snow melt. Rain is nice but won't make a huge difference.

Me and my buddy casually walked around the linq promenade or whatever it is next to it it and got a full pizza from the pizza place there and took it to the beer bar across the street bringing food for anyone that wanted. Great time was had in the rain.

Seeing the abandoned Echo Bay Resort is really sad to see. I am 62 now but remember staying there with a group of friends on a ski trip in about 1980. About eight cases of Bud talls, a 5 pound can of Rosarita refried beans, a bunch of tortillas, and a big bag of cheese. oh, and we crammed about eight guys in one room. Young and dumb but so much fun!

  • Weather is CYCLICAL. These floods were an annual event when I first moved to Vegas, it's why you see million of dollars spent on man made "wash basins" around Southern LV, that collect rain runoff. We are in a drought cycle that is hopefully coming to an end. The record amount of snowfall in Utah/Colorado last winter, is a great sign that things might be changing and hopefully lake Mead, Lake Powell, et. al., fills back up to full capacity.

    • Learning Opportunity and DISINFORMATION ALERT! Please don't contribute any rise in Lake Mead water level to any amount of rain that falls in Vegas area or especially California!! Please don't do that in any future videos, no matter if it's a "Hurricane!" Let me explain; The topography of California contributes 0.00% of flow into Lake Mead. Instead Cal. leaches water OUT of Mead constantly through the aqueducts built decades ago. Secondly Vegas; the water from Vegas DOES flow into mead, but the lake is soooo large (largest in the U.S.) that Vegas drain water *might* contribute 1" to the lake-- but still doubtful. The comparison is to say when you dump a single glass of water into your swimming pool, the water rises.... (!) Now, the reason Mead is rising; They (The Bureau of Reclamation) are draining LAKE POWELL (Second largest reservoir in the U.S.) upstream of Mead. They have been doing this consistently since early June. And that info can be found on the same site you referenced regarding Mead levels. They are doing this in an attempt (God only knows why they favor NV over other states (probably Casino Power :~)), but to avoid water restrictions in Vegas in 2024. Thanks for taking the time to read. The video posted below will clearly show evidence of this... kzhead.info/sun/f7yBcremmaqBdXk/bejne.html www.watereducation.org/aquapedia/lake-mead

  • One thing to keep in mind is that the Lake is shaped like a funnel or a martini glass. You will get a lot of change for a little rain right now. But as the water level increases, you will see slower results. But another factor is that runoff from Las Vegas will never come close to the runoff from the snowy mountains in Colorado. Any increase from now until the end of the year is gravy.

  • The desert flooding is amazing. The sun baked ground doesn't absorb water quickly so it all just runs off to the low land. During the 2014 flooding in Maricopa County AZ, my zip code got 6.25" in a 24 hour period. That was a lot of water.

  • This is amazing! and fascinating. That is a tremendous change in the water levels! Bless your heart for doing this and sharing. I'm in Arizona and haven't been up north to LV or Mead in quite some time. So seeing this change is very heartening! I also wonder - all this increase can't be just from the hurricane rains - has to be partially the spring runoff, correct? Another question - when was the Echo Bay motel in operation? was that a 60's operation? In any case, thanks so much for this birds' eye view - you're appreciated!

    @jessstone7486@jessstone74868 ай бұрын
    • Why thank you jessstone! Appreciate you saying that. A lot of the water level Increases was due to spring run off, I would say the majority of it......and other factors that contributed to the rise of water was regular rainfall. Echo Bay resort was built in 1962, and it's a shame to know that it will no longer be around . I did a full length video on echo Bay resort too last year, I go more in depth on the history. Worth checking out! Thanks again for tuning in to the video!

I'd be curious to know of any updates to the the safety of the individuals in the drainage system of Las Vegas. Definitely seems like the city is demonstrating some severe negligence by allowing people to live in them in the first place and it's a major lawsuit waiting to happen.

  • Good to see. You’re comparing it to a record low though and lake mead is still only at 40% capacity. Basically the ever expanding Vegas region is taking out more water than lake mead can supply. I remember going to the lake in 2016 at the last record low. You’re just about back up to that level now.
